The average Philadelphia Eagles fan will probably want to either dance in the streets or chuck batteries at the Energizer Bunny (because he didn’t run quite long enough) with a headline like “Donovan McNabb traded to Redskins.” The former group points to his lack of Super Bowl victories and supposedly inaccurate arm. The latter is just surly. They are the same exact group who would throw vegetables at Mike Schmidt and Santa Claus.

As the Washington Post puts it, McNabb’s new home is happy to have the six-time Pro Bowler. Although still resembling bold ineptitude, the result of Philadelphia’s bold move on McNabb will most likely be something that falls short of. Eagles fans, enjoy the Phillies this season. They’re worth it. Michael Vick at QB, on the other hand, is not. Kevin Kolb is a wait-and-see – either a sleeper who will be getting a big salary cash advance soon or a mediocre QB.

McNabb traded to Redskins – will this mean D.C. has their starting QB?

McNabb traded to the Redskins also means that where there was uncertainty with Jason Campbell, now Washington knows what they’re getting. A second-round draft pick (37th pick overall) and a fourth-round pick in 2011 was all they needed to sacrifice in order to get him. According to the Post, however, that 2011 pick could become a third-round selection if McNabb performs well.

Don’t expect the same kind of performance he turned in back in 2004, when he led the Eagles to Super Bowl XXXIX and was named the NFC’s Offensive Player of the Year. Despite current circumstances, McNabb held his own grounds – 31 touchdowns, 8 interceptions and a 104.7 quarterback rating. Now swallow down a slimy, greasy sandwich and wipe your hands on your grimy undershirt and Underoos. Just keep your football “knowledge” to yourselves and cover your nose and mouth when you sneeze. If I’m in the payday loans line, I don’t want your mutant germs.

Donovan McNabb – he led the Eagles to 4 straight division titles and 5 conference championships

Certainly he would have traded some of those in for a Super Bowl victory, but how many other worthy quarterbacks never won the Super Bowl? Among them, Donovan McNabb ranks highly well. With over 32,000 passing yards and 200 touchdowns – stats that are actually better than John Elway’s, when touchdowns to interceptions are considered – “McNabb traded to the Redskins” should make D.C. fans smile. This man can still play football.
